This is a wonderful recipe I learnt from my MIL . Every Sunday morning my MIL would never forget to prepare Poori and mixed veg kurma. Before marriage I have had only poori kizhanghu( the usual aloo masala which comes with poori) . But when I tasted this kurma with poori I liked it too. I hope u will too…

Ingredients

French Beans- 10 cut finelyCarrot-1 cut finelyPotato-1 cut finelyPeas- ½ cup(U can use frozen cut veggies too.If u are using so use 2 cups of mixed vegetables which is usually carrot,peas,beans and corn)

MethodHeat 4 tsp oil and 1 tsp ghee in a pressure cooker . Add cinnamon, cloves and star Anise. Then add the onions, saute for some time and add the ginger garlic paste. Fry for some time and add the tomatoes. Saute till the tomatoes become soft and add all the vegetables. Add salt garam masala and turmeric powder. Then add the ground masala and fry for some time .Add 1 glass of water and pressure cook. Simmer for 5 mins after the 1 st whistle. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with poori or chapathis or paranthas.

HiYou have a nice blog and simple recipes. I will be trying your kurma today, it is slightly different than my usual recipe. One comment: I found it hard to judge the quantity. I think it will help if you specify the vegetables as 2 cups (mixed veg) or something like that.

Hi Spicelover, Thanks for trying my recipe and leaving ur comment.I usually make the kurma with the above mentioned quantity of ingredients. If u are using frozen veggies u can use 2 cups of mixed vegetables(carrot, peas, beans and corn). U will have to add 1 potato finely chopped as they dont come with the mixed veggies. U have to grind very few coriander leaves... say 1 tsp of finely chopped coriander leaves. The kurma Doesnt turn out to be greenish.. I think u must have added too much of coriander leaves. The turmeric powder and the tomato gives a nice colour to the kurma.Hope this helped..I will specifically mention the quantity for coriander leaves and mixed vegetables. Thanks for ur suggestion.

Hi Prema SundarI just wanted to let you know that I tried 2 of your recipes, Veg Manchurian and the Mixed vegetable korma. I accidentally came across your blog while surfing for recipes. Both were absolutely wonderful and really delicious. The Manchurian lasted a few minutes while the little bit of Korma left over tasted even better the next day, when all the flavors soaked in. I cannot thank you enough for these recipes! I have forwarded this recipe(and your blog) to many of my friends who asked me about the dishes when I served it a party last weekend! Great job!

I randomly came across your site when I was looking for recipes using french beans. I did not have star ainse at home. But had rest of the ingredients. The recipe turned out to be awesome. My husband and I just loved it. I prepared a little extra to have it again tomorrow morning. :) I am planning to prepare it again next week too. I am planning to invite some guests over. I am now going to go thru rest of ur recipes :) thanks again.

I would like to say that you really made my day, it's wonderful when you just look around the weband find something like this, reminds me of that ''How to make a dinner for a romantic...'' by Elsa Thomas,you're a wonderful writer let me tell you!!! ñ_ñ

Thanks for the recipe. It really helped me except maybe you could specify the amount on every ingredient. But sincerely thanks for sharing this recipe. Most people don't share their family recipes and I don't know why. I mean if it gives joy to others, why not share?

Hi,I love your recipes. Only one problem i face is that u have not provided a search option which would help me search the recipe i want. suppose i want to make something out of eggplant. its not clear from your list of recipes which option i should click on to get it. could u work on it, as i go thru ur blog very often. thanks
